Batkid is... well, a kid, and he had cancer. This guy is an illegal. He should not be getting shit except a one-way transport back to his country.

so they have to go with the pretty girl is a tom boy looking average chick only to be transformed trope as well??

You're damn right. That's exactly what they're going to do. She'll probably come down steps in a dress for prom or make her appearance as a model at some point. I have no proof, but I feel it'll be some variation of those scenarios at least.

but could you imagine if a mega celebrity tried to take a commercial airplane?

Not saying it's impossible, but it would be pretty inconvenient

It would be inconvenient for everyone. The celebrity has to deal with fans, fans will slow things down for the airline and the flyers who don't care about the celebrity will be delayed or have to deal with people pushing past them to get an autograph.

Yes! And these wondergul gentlemen agree with you:

I can't speak for video games, but the clusterfuck over at Marvel comics is exactly what you just described, and watching them implode has been glorious.

Ehh the two aren't comparable. Video Gaming has a widely diverse consumer base, whereas Comics is largely niche entertainment and thus Marvel's attempt fell flat on its face.

Yes, that's why I specifically said I can't speak for video games. I don't know enough about what's going on with video games, its various communities and so on. Marvel comics on the other hand has editors, writers and comic titles pandering to SJW's, but it's not working. They don't buy comics.

I mean look at which companies they're hitting hardest: Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook... all US-based companies that have exploded into global powerhouses. That success makes them easy targets, both for seizing control and also for easy money. What the EU either fails to realize or is intentionally ignoring is that all those companies started in the US because the EU is a terrible, terrible place for innovation. It's where entrepreneurship goes to die, and attempting to stranglehold those companies into effectively being EU ones through regulation isn't going to many anything better.

I don't believe any of that. Sounds like propaganda. Everybody knows capitalism doesn't work, the US is wrong, and socialism will save us all.

I support adding as many different character models as possible, but the immersion issue will always be a concern for some other people. The big difference between you and them is where you decided to draw the line as to what you find acceptable and don't find acceptable (i.e. it's Ok for you in single player, but not in multiplayer). What I hear often is the argument that we should accept changes that don't adhere as close as possible to the setting because it's fictional anyway. It's just a game. But would those people accept a World War 2 game, for example, where the Nazis ride raptos and are the heroes or there were pink tie-fighters bombing Pear Harbor since it's all fake anyway? (On second thought, that might actually be kind of cool.)

I didn't get that from Kirsten Dunst's plain looking ass either but nobody was bringing that up back then

Lol, we had very different experiences. I didn't really know who Kirsten Dunst was, aside from seeing a few pics, but I knew a lot about the Mary Jane character and I remember a lot of my fellow comic book nerds in person and on the Net saying Uuuggh, why is she so pasty and plain? Don't they know Mary Jane is a super model? It reminds me of how Christopher Nolan tried to convince us that Maggie Gyllenhaal was beautiful in The Dark Knight. Fail!

I guess it's a matter of perspective. What is interesting is I suspect the same people saying a small percentage of his work is actually a lot are also the ones who say a small percentage of members doing a criminal act, for example, should not reflect on their larger group. I think they need to make up their minds.

Some have started to speculate that this could be a clue to the soul stone's location, including either Hammer, Heimdall, or Him (referring to Adam Warlock, who as far as I know has not yet been introduced).

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 did have that end scene, though. Pretty sure that's Adam Warlock.

Not America, CE won't care.

What do you want them to say? A guy, with connections, hurt another guy, who has no connections, and the court said yeah, he did it but no jail time for him. It sucks, but it's case closed. This also was about an assault. Yes, it's bad, but CE would probably care more if people died or there was sex involved.

SHE was 'bullying' him by calling him a 'garbage human.' You can disagree with someone; but when you sink to insults, you have a problem.

Pretty sure he's repeatedly insulted her in his videos, buddy.

Insulted her content, not her.

Sarkeesian does not differentiate the two. She doesn't allow comments, rebuttals, debates or whatever. Criticism and inquiry is the same as a personal attack to her. But I believe it has to be that way or her house of cards will come falling down. She can not allow others to have their voices heard or people will start to see through her, instead of how it is now where so many of the people she takes advantage of seem to be falling over themselves to kowtow to her wants and apologize on her behalf.

The T-Rex is believed not to have had feathers exactly, but an early type of proto-feather that would probably look something like ruffled fur if you were to see it today.

the newly found in-tact fossil of the dinosaur tail has feathers and they look... weird. like not good for flying, at all. they looked more like quills from a hedgehog, just much longer.

Wait. Are we still talking specifically about the T Rex, as was brought up by Ske Reynolds? I'm aware of the specimen in Amber (it's a fantastic discovery, Btw), but that's millions of years prior. Still super fascinating, of course.

The scientific method put feathers on a T.rex. I say hell with it.

No, it didn't, unless there was some major discovery specifically about the T Rex that no one's heard of yet. Maybe one day, we will know either way, but the jury's still out on that debate.

The video game community's reaction to Anita is the exact same reaction that arose for Jack Thompson.

Anita's plumbing is totally irrelevant. She's just a bad person with bad ideas.

The same reaction? Come on, man, that's a stretch. I remember Thompson being reviled by just about every gamer. Anita has her fans and apologists everywhere. Even the gaming "media" sites stick up for her! I know you've seen posters here on CE downplaying her bullshit and doing damage control.

I don't know if it's a vagina privilege or a pro-feminist (no matter what) thing, but she definitely gets a pass from lots of people.

FBI director is not supposed to be one of those positions. That's why they're appointed to 10 year terms.

Yes, appointed. Remind me, who appointed him? Exactly.

When the next Democrat (or next Republican after Trump) takes office, they are going to get rid of Trump's appointees. Maybe not in a sweeping move, but they'll be gone if they cause public relations problems or create other concerns.

2. Then why was Comey fired hmm? Previously Trump had praised him. What is lacking in elements is elements showing Trump had a distaste for Comey. What isn't lacking is proof that Comey refused to pledge loyalty and do Trump a favor.

Administrations change personnell all the time when the new leadership assumes command. In government, it's often the case at even lower levels of office. This was standard operating procedure before Trump and will be standard operating procedure long after he's gone. Remnants of the previous administration don't tend to stick around long, for one reason or another. Having said that, maybe Comey's firing was linked to the investigation and how it was proceeding. It's speculation though.

Look at this fucking topic. Everyone is all of a sudden is a X-Men fan just to spite Capcom. How far you guys will dig to just Capcom. Fucking pathetic.

Sorry you're angry that a lot of people won't get to play their favorite characters that have been a staple for the entire series.

*All of a sudden it's their favorite character.

Wolverine, aside from Spider Man, has arguably been the most popular character in Marvel's comics for decades. The X-Men comics sold well enough for Marvel that they ran several different spin-offs for many years. If you go just by the video games, Wolverine, Sentinel and Storm frequently appeared on players' teams in tournaments. Of course the X-Men movies exist and have their fans despite those films' flaws.

It's understandable that more than a few players are upset the X-Men might go missing from this new game entirely.

I do. I've also peed a few times in the sink because the toilet was malfunctioning, and once while having a bath because I was very drunk and didn't trust my motor skills enough to risk a shower.

Interestingly enough, my sink, shower, tub and I am now clean despite having done so, because I am not an animal that doesn't know how to clean myself or my plumbing. Interesting how that works.

Do you warn your guests that you piss in the skink before they use it?

Be honest.

According to police the young girl tried to pull away but the man was concerned for her safety and picked her up and continued walking toward the playground, “hoping that he would be able to locate the child’s father.”

I think the man was very unwise to do that. He most likely was just trying to help out, but touching someone else's kid, especially picking them up while they are resisting, would be very suspicious to a lot of people. Sadly, it would have been better to get help from other adults.
